Metabolic rate, evaporative water loss and field activity in response to temperature in an ichneumonid wasp
High ambient temperatures can adversely affect insects through high evaporative water loss (EWL) and reduction of metabolic activity through enzyme denaturation. Establishing the relationship between the temperature at which these processes become detrimental and regulatory behaviour is critical in...
